Scattered light rapidly detects tumor response to chemotherapy
New technology developed by Duke University bioengineers can help clinicians more precisely detect whether specific cancer drugs are working, and should give basic researchers a powerful new tool to better understand the underlying mechanisms of cancer development. view more (2009-02-02)
TAMOXIFEN FOR PREVENTION OF BREAST CANCER - ENCOURAGING RESULTS BUT RISKS STILL UNCLEAR (pp 813, 817)
Early findings from a randomised trial investigating the effectiveness of tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer are reported in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Although tamoxifen reduced breast cancer incidence by a third compared with women given placebo, the authors of the study caution that it is still too early to fully assess the risk to... view more...

Blocking Cancer-Causing Gene Improves Radiation Effectiveness, Jefferson Researchers Find
Inhibiting a particular cancer-causing gene can enhance the cell-killing effects of radiation, a team of radiation oncologists and cancer biologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found. view more (2006-11-09)
New cellular flaw found in some virulent breast cancers
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a molecular interaction that triggers a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer, and suggest that attacking this target with selective drugs might improve treatment. view more (2006-01-18)
New Synthetic Molecules Trigger Immune Response to HIV and Prostate Cancer
Researchers at Yale University have developed synthetic molecules capable of enhancing the body's immune response to HIV and HIV-infected cells, as well as to prostate cancer cells. Their findings, published online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, could lead to novel therapeutic approaches for these diseases. view more (2009-11-06)
McGill researchers overcome chemotherapy resistance in the lab
Researchers from McGill University's Faculty of Medicine have discovered a compound that reduces resistance to chemotherapy agents used to treat cancer. Their results were published in the June issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI). view more (2008-06-30)
Pancreatic cancer risk decreased by one anti-diabetic therapy, increased by others
The antidiabetic medication metformin is associated with a reduced risk of pancreatic cancer in diabetics, according to a new study in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2009-08-03)
Depression detection tool to transform treatment of cancer
A tool to detect depression in cancer patients launched by the University of Liverpool will vastly improve patients' ability to come to terms with their disease. view more (2007-01-29)
Early Promise Of Alternative Hormone Treatment For Breast Cancer
A fast-track study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that the drug anastrozole could be an effective option for the treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive early breast cancer. Tamoxifen therapy for five years after surgery is the established treatment for postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer.... view more... (2002-06-19)
New medications show promise in treating drug-resistant prostate cancer
A new therapy for metastatic prostate cancer has shown considerable promise in early clinical trials involving patients whose disease has become resistant to current drugs. view more (2009-04-08)
Drug has ability to cure type of leukemia
In people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), the drug Imatinib has been shown to drive cancer into remission, but the disease often returns when treatment is stopped. view more (2007-10-03)
Dual-drug therapy targets one colon cancer gene
Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have found that interferon, used for 30 years to treat blood cancers, multiple sclerosis and hepatitis, selectively kills colon cancer cells when combined with another standard chemotherapy agent. view more (2005-08-18)
Penn researchers identify new combination therapy that promotes cancer cell death
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine identified a combination therapy as a way to sensitize resistant human cancer cells to a treatment currently being tested in clinical trials. view more (2007-07-17)
A new pharmaceutical drug that halts progress of metastatic kidney cancer
Research has shown the efficacy of a pharmaceutical drug known as sunitinib which halts progress of metastatic kidney cancer. view more (2007-03-02)
Jefferson scientists uncover role of cancer stem cell marker: controlling gene expression
Scientists at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia have made an extraordinary advance in the understanding of the function of a gene previously shown to be part of an 11-gene "signature" that can predict which tumors will be aggressive and likely to spread. view more (2008-01-18)
